CVE-2026-82260Network attack vector

Server crash via remote form deserialization

Published Aug 28, 2026 · Updated Aug 28, 2026

Memory exhaustion in SvelteKit 2.49.0 through 2.52.1 allows remote attackers to crash the server via malformed remote form data. The remote form deserializer allocates excessive memory while decoding attacker-controlled form data; the upstream advisory does not identify the exact field or allocation site. Exposure requires both experimental.remoteFunctions and a reachable form remote function, and successful exploitation terminates the server process.
